ing the following:

Important Safety Instructions

• Read this manual completely before operating this

appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Use it only to warm food

and heat plates and utensils. It is not designed for

commercial, industrial or laboratory use.

• Only model OWD24 is approved for use in outdoor

installations and near water (bathrooms). Do not

use, store or install warming drawer models other

than OWD24 near water, for example, near sinks,

swimming pools or in a wet basement.

• Model OWD24, when installed as a towel warmer,

must have the supplied wire rack installed in the

drawer bottom. Secure the rack with the screw and

clip supplied. See the installation instructions.

• Do not install or operate a product that is

damaged, has a damaged power cord or plug, or is

malfunctioning in any manner. Return the appliance

to the nearest authorized service facility for

examination, repair or adjustment.

• Make sure that this appliance has been properly

installed and grounded by a qualified installer

according to the accompanying installation

instructions. Have the installer show you the

location of the electrical outlet so that you know

where to disconnect power to the appliance.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the warming

drawer unless specifically recommended in the

literature accompanying it. All other service should

be done by a qualified technician.

• Use of accessory attachments not recommended by

the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

• Before cleaning or performing any type of service,

make sure that the power plug is disconnected from

the electrical outlet and that the unit is cool.

• Keep the electrical cord away from heated surfaces.

• DO NOT TOUCH ANY HOT SURFACES IN OR ON

THE WARMING DRAWER DURING OR IMMEDIATELY

AFTER USE. Use the handle instead. After use,

make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time

to cool before touching them. Heating elements may

be hot, even though they are dark in color.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the warming drawer, do

not overcook food. Do not leave it unattended with

paper, plastic or other combustible materials inside.

warning

• To avoid the possibility of fire or burns, do not allow

clothing, pot holders, towels or rags to come into

contact with any part of the warming drawer during

and immediately after use. Do not wear loose or

hanging apparel while using this appliance.

• If materials inside the warming drawer should

ignite, keep the drawer closed and shut off the

power at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

• Exercise caution when opening the drawer. Let hot

air or steam escape before looking or reaching into

the warming drawer.

• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and

cookware from the warming drawer. Wet pot holders

can cause steam burns.

• Do not put items like whole eggs, sealed containers

or closed glass jars in the warming drawer. They

may explode when heated, causing injury.

• Do not place more than 50 pounds in the drawer.

• Properly clean and maintain the unit regularly as

instructed in this manual. Clean only those parts

listed in this manual, in the manner specified.

• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or abrasive/caustic

cleaners or detergents on this appliance. They

may permanently damage the finishes. Do not use

aerosol cleaners, because they may be flammable or

cause corrosion of metal parts.

• Clean the appliance thoroughly before operating it

for the first time.

• Make sure the warming drawer is used only by

those individuals who are able to operate it properly.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Preheat the warming drawer before use.

• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand

or climb on any part of the appliance, including

the drawer. Doing so may cause tipping, damage,

serious injury or death.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the

area around the appliance. Do not allow children to

Operating Instructions

warning

• When the warming drawer is on in continuous mode

(∞), it will remain on until turned off manually. To

avoid a fire hazard or burns, exercise caution when

operating the unit in continuous mode.

• Do not block the humidity vents on the back of the

drawer front and along the left and right sides of the

drawer. Excessive heat buildup can occur.

• Food safety is an important consideration when

using a warming drawer. In the PROOF and LOW

temperature settings, bacteria growth may occur.

Use the MED and HIGH settings if holding certain

foods for more than two to three hours.

Things to Know Before You Start

Preheating

• For best results, preheat your warming drawer for

about 20 minutes before use. If you put hot food into

a cool, conned area, any steam that is present will

condense. If you preheat your warming drawer, there

will be less chance of water due to condensation.

Preheat times vary depending on the temperature set-

ting.

Humidity Control

• The warming drawer has two distinct humidity modes.

The “MOIST” setting seals the food’s moisture in the

warming chamber, maintaining the water content of

the food. The “CRISP” setting allows the moisture to

vent out of the sides of the warming drawer, retain-

ing the crispness of other food types. The MOIST •

CRISP lever opens and closes vents located on the

inside of the drawer front.

• Do not block the humidity vents any time you operate

your warming drawer.

Operation

The warming drawer is equipped with four temperature

settings and a timer that can be set for one, two, three

or four hours. The warming drawer can also be set for

continuous operation. See the table on the facing page for

suggested settings for different foods.

To turn the unit on:

1. Select the humidity level. Slide the lever located on

the back of the drawer face to the desired position.

To increase humidity inside the drawer, slide the lever

closer to the MOIST symbol. To decrease humidity

inside the drawer, slide the lever closer to the CRISP

symbol. The lever can also be positioned anywhere

between the MOIST and CRISP settings.

2. Push the ON/OFF key.

3. Push the key for the desired temperature setting.

4. Select the amount of time you want

the warming drawer to be on: Push the

SELECT key until the desired number

of hours lights up on the control panel.

Push the continuous key

(∞)

to keep

the unit on constantly. Push the ON/

OFF key to turn the warming drawer

off, when done.

Warming Serving Containers

To warm plates, and other serving containers:

• Place them carefully into the warming drawer and set

the temperature to PROOF or LOW, depending upon

your personal preference. Do not drag plates across

the drawer. They may scratch the drawer surface.

• Before using any delicate dinnerware in the warm-

ing drawer, determine its maximum recommended

usage temperature from the plate manufacturer. It is

not necessary to preheat the warming drawer when

warming serving dishes.

• You can also use plastic wrapping on plates to keep

foods hot and moist.

Care and Cleaning

caution

• To prevent permanent damage to the appliance

surfaces, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.

• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces,

etc.) to remain on the warming drawer’s surfaces.

The finish may stain.

• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object

such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may

scratch the surfaces.

• Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction

of the grain.

Control Panel

Clean the control panel with a soft cloth soaked with a

solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry

with a soft cloth. Exercise caution to avoid introduction of

liquids into the area behind the control panel. Do not use

abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently

damage the nish or scrap off the letters and graphics.

Moist • Crisp Control

Clean the Moist • Crisp lever with a solution of mild deter-

gent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

Drawer Handle

Clean the drawer handle with a solution of mild detergent

and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. It is

available from your Dacor dealer. Use it according to the

directions on the package.

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the

grain.

Glass Surfaces

Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent

and hot water. You may also use a mild glass cleaner to

remove ngerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft,

lint-free cloth.

Brass and Chrome Surfaces

Clean brass and chrome surfaces with a solution of mild

detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a

soft, lint-free cloth.

You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. It is

available from your Dacor dealer. Use it according to the

directions on the package.

Painted Surfaces

For the front face of warming drawers with a painted

nish, clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot

water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive

cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently damage the

nish.

Gasket

The gasket is located around the edge of the drawer

opening, below the control panel.

Gently clean the gasket with a solution of mild detergent

and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. The gasket

material is soft, so be careful not to crush or damage

it. Damaging the gasket will cause a poor heat seal and

result in poor warming drawer performance.

Drawer Slides

The warming drawer has slides positioned on each side

of the drawer. They allow the drawer to slide in and out

smoothly. Remove the drawer from the slides to make

cleaning easy or to access the serial number plate. The

drawer slides themselves do not require maintenance.

Removing the Drawer from the

Appliance

Allow the drawer to cool before attempting to remove it.

1. Pull the drawer out to the fully open position.

2. Push in on the locking tab on one side as you pull the

drawer up. See the facing page.

3. When the drawer comes loose from the slide, repeat

the same process on the opposite side.

4. Grip the drawer on both sides and pull it free.

5. For safety, push both drawer slides into the drawer

opening.

Reinstalling The Drawer

1. Pull the drawer slides all the way out of the drawer

opening.

2. Gently lower the drawer between the extended slides

until it is suspended by them.

3. Slide the back of the drawer mounting brackets under

the clips on the slides. See the facing page.

4. Push one side of the drawer down onto its locking tab,

until the tab locks into place.

5. Repeat the same process on the opposite side.

6. Gently open and close the drawer to make sure that it

is properly installed.
